Node Manager, Lu Hogan, from the University of New England’s SMART Region Incubator, said the free three-day event was a chance for members of farming families and businesses to improve their critical decision making and teamwork skills.

“When you are part of a family-run livestock, cropping or mixed enterprise, being able to work together is critical to not just the success of the business but the family as well,” she said.

“The Farming Family Reboot workshop (Armidale, April 18-20), is a chance for people to take some time out from the daily work of the farm, to think, plan, review their goals and build some new skills that will help in managing future climate related business challenges.”

This free event features high quality guest speakers and hands on in-paddock sessions. Accommodation and meals are included, thanks to the support of Rural Aid, the University of New England (UNE) and the SQNNSW

Innovation Hub, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund. Childcare may also be available at the UNE campus (bookings required).

“This is the second year we have offered the Farming Family Reboot, after overwhelmingly positive reactions in

2022. We heard excellent feedback about not just the quality of our speakers and hands on activities, but about how much beneft there was when the whole family could attend,” Ms Hogan said.
